Seacoast Area Home Sales Hit Highest Monthly Level Since 2024, Realtors Report

PORTSMOUTH, NH — Single-family home sales across 13 Seacoast towns posted their strongest monthly showing since 2024 in June, according to statistics released by the Seacoast Board of REALTORS.

The board reported 89 single-family transactions in June, the most for that month since 2022 and 9.8 percent ahead of the same month last year. The 13 sample towns are Exeter, Greenland, Hampton, Hampton Falls, New Castle, Newfields, Newington, North Hampton, Newmarket, Portsmouth, Rye, Seabrook, and Stratham.

The median sale price for single-family homes reached $900,000 in June, according to the board. That was 2.9 percent ahead of last year and marked the third straight month the median sale price reached $900,000 or more. For the first six months of 2026, the market was 3.4 percent ahead of 2025, with a median sale price of $880,000, which the release said was 3.5 percent higher than last year.

“A solid month for Seacoast real estate sales,” Seacoast Board of REALTORS President Ryan Kaplan said. “Inventory continues to make a slow recovery, and this has given buyers more choices and more time to negotiate.”

The month also included one of the region’s highest-priced home sales.

The release said the sale of the Stone House at 85 Wentworth Road in Rye closed for $8.575 million on an asking price of $9.75 million, placing it among the top six all-time sales in Rockingham County.

The Seacoast condominium market moved in a different direction in June. The board reported 67 condo sales, down 20.2% from last year, while inventory reached its highest June level since 2020. Even with the decline in sales, the monthly median price rose to $610,000, up $50,000 from last year and the highest level since December 2025.

The biggest condominium sale of the month was at 1215 Ocean Blvd. in Rye for $2.6 million, according to the release. That sale closed $95,000 below the asking price. For the year to date, condominium sales were up 8.8 percent, while the median price was down 2.7 percent at $560,000.
